Barkcloth cushions- Kussens van barkcloth

After being absent for a while, I'm taking a slow start by making some cushions for the living room. Not being able to sew past the year hasn't prevented me from buying fabric and so I had the perfect fabric in stock: Jessica Jones' Time Warp collection.Na een tijdje afwezig te zijn geweest, neem ik een rustige start door een paar kussens te maken voor de woonkamer. Het afgelopen jaar was ik misschien niet in staat om te stikken, maar stofjes kopen was geen probleem. Daardoor had ik de perfecte stof in huis: de Time Warp collectie van Jessica Jones.

Barkcloth was new to me, but I was very pleasently suprised. After prewashing the fabric, it became even softer while retaining a certain glow.

I wanted cushions with piping, and looked for a tutorial. This one, from Oon (in Dutch, but with pictures) is the one I used. And so, after first spending some time on buying zippers and making the piping, I was able to make the actual cushions.

And here the cushions where they will live from now on. I used the interior from the orginal cushions, bought with the sofa and in the same grey fabric. The new fabric is a lot lighter and it really makes a difference in this north-orientated room.
